Aims: Due to the complexity of teaching new subjects to medical freshmen, especially in basic medical science, and the variability of the academic performance, we want to explore the difference of our student’s Biochemistry examination score based on their gender and place of residence. Methods: This is a simple retrospective cross sectional study by analyzing the examination result and compared it based on our student’s gender (male or female) and place of residence (living in their own house or in boarding house). Result and Discussion: During data collection, there are 913 active students from all class of 2016-2021 but only 569 freshmen from the class of 2018-2021 which gender and place of residence data are available, there are 155 male (27.24%) and 414 female (72.75%). Female students achieved better mean score compared to their male counterparts. Students which live in their own house also achieved better mean score compared to those who lived in boarding house. Conclusion: there are differences in the achievement of examination scores based on student’s gender and place of residence.
